mouth of Muncy creek, in March, 1781. In the petition of his widow, who writes her
name Mary Campleton, presented to the Assembly, September 23, 1784, she says: "My
husband and son, with others, went on a tour of duty up the West Branch, early in
the spring of 1781, and lying one night at the mouth of Muncy creek, in the morning
the savages came on them when my unfortunate husband and son, with one William
Campble, fell a sacrifice to all the cruelties and barbarities that savages could
inflict, leaving your petitioner and six children. We were driven from house and
home, and so reduced that I am unable to return to the place we had improved upon."

Lincoln, Esquire, was captured by the Indians, in the meadow, in the rear of
Esquire Lincoln's house. He was never heard of afterwards. He left a widow and

Note:
Married ca. 1795 to Magdalena Schons (Jones)b.ca.1774 - in PA.George Eyestone appears to have been illeterate, having to make his "mark" at the conclusion of his will, drawn up before John McCarty, clerk of Fayette Circuit and witnessed by Franiz Veach & Mordici Mitchner. This will was signed on 4/18/1826, which makes the death date for Geo. Eyestone suspect. Most likely he died AFTER this date, but noting that he could only make his mark, perhaps it was executed at his deathbed. If so, perhaps George could indeed write.
